Job Placement · Skilled Trades
One unfilled skilled trades position does not just leave a gap on the org chart - it shows up in overtime costs, missed production quotas, and equipment sitting idle. We place electricians, machinists, welders, and skilled production staff in 23-35 days at roughly 50% less than contingency firms.

The Real Cost of a Slow Search
How It Works
We learn your organization, the role, and what a strong candidate actually looks like in your environment. 15 minutes. No fluff.
We go direct to passive candidates - professionals who are not on job boards but are quietly open to the right opportunity. This is where most searches fail.
You receive 3-5 pre-screened candidates. No stacks of resumes. No wasted interviews. You meet candidates who have already been qualified against your specific criteria.
What You Get
Common objection: "We already work with contingency recruiters."
Contingency firms charge 20-25% of first-year salary. For a $65,000 tradesperson, that is $13,000-$16,000. Milestone pricing brings the total cost down by roughly 50%, paid at defined stages rather than as a lump sum when the hire starts.
Common objection: "What if the placement doesn't work out?"
If the hire does not work out within 45 days of their start date for any performance-related reason, we conduct a replacement search at no additional charge. Our guarantee is longer than most contingency firms and is built into every engagement.
Common objection: "We have used recruiters before and wasted time on bad candidates."
You will not sort through 20 resumes hoping one sticks. Your dedicated search specialist builds a shortlist of 3-5 candidates who have been screened against your specific criteria. You only meet people who are genuinely qualified. The first interview is a real conversation, not a screening exercise.
The Math on Waiting
Overtime to cover one unfilled trades position costs $3,000-$5,000 per week at 1.5x base pay rates. At 12 weeks, that is $36,000-$60,000 in excess labor cost - before counting missed production quotas, reduced throughput, and equipment underutilization. A 23-35 day search eliminates the bulk of that exposure.
The Talent Window
Licensed and certified tradespeople - electricians, HVAC techs, welders, machinists - are in short supply and high demand. When a certified tradesperson becomes available, multiple employers reach out immediately. A reactive search that waits for applications will consistently miss the most qualified candidates.
No commitment. We will tell you exactly what we can do for your search and what it costs.
